Gates at St Wendreda's Church in March were accidentally damaged by a contractor on Monday, April 22.
Residents of March noticed the damage at the Grade I listed church after broken gates were left by graves in the cemetery.
A spokesperson for Fenland District Council confirmed that the gates were accidentally damaged by their contractors during a routine grass cutting of the church grounds.
"Unfortunately, the gates were damaged on Monday (April 22) during the routine grass cutting of the grounds by our contractors.
"We were informed and a plan put in place to make repairs as a matter of priority, at no cost to the council. The gates were repaired and replaced on Tuesday (April 23).
"The grass at the site is cut every two weeks during the season, usually without incident and this was an unfortunate accident.
"Fenland District Council works hard to maintain and protect all our district’s assets and heritage and it was during this ongoing, regular maintenance that this unfortunate incident happened."

Some of the graves in the cemetery belong to soldiers from both World War One and World War Two.
The church itself is named after Wendreda, an Anglo-Saxon nun understood to be from East Anglia.
